FERTIGATION LEVEL AND MULCHING IN CAULIFLOWER (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) cv. SNOWBALL WHITE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 21
Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at Experimental farm, Department of Horticulture, Assam agricultural University during 2012-13 to evaluate three individual levels of drip and fertigation of nitrogen and potash with or without bi-layer polyethylene mulch in cauliflower. Significantly the highest curd yield of 706.33 g/plant (282.53 q/ha) was obtained with 100% supplementation of OPE through drip @ 24.96 liter/plant and fertigation of nitrogen and potash @ 125% of recommended dose/ha i.e. 100 kg N & 60 kg P2O5 and K2O with a crop duration of 61.67 days and B:C of 0.89. The plant height, days to fifty per cent curd initiation, days to horticultural maturity, curd weight, curd yield, shoot and root ratio, were significantly influenced by drip and fertigation level and mulching. The shelf life of curd was significantly more at mulched conditions. The same treatment combination without mulch gave an yield of 248.53 q/ha with B:C of 1.96.
